[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are proposing to live on 48k

You must not be military.  They need a active duty base to access tricare prime for the entire family.  Once you retire, you continue tricare prime.  VA is for the veterans only - as a retiree one can use it but cost wise, its not worth it and it does not serve the spouse or child.[/quote]

I posted earlier, but thought id do it again since theres some false information posted   My husband is retired military and we have Tricare Prime and have never used a base medical facility - all private physicians.  His take home retirement/disability is just shy of $4k/month - 50% disability, retired as a Major.   Tricare Prime is around $50/mo and dental is $180/month both are auto deducted from retirement pay.   The higher your disability percentage, the less you'll pay in taxes.  If you have at least 50% disability and purchase a home with a VA loan, you don't pay the 3% closing fee.  [/quote]
